Running With Scissors - Augusten Burroughs Books
Augusten Burroughs is not a boy home and church, as they say. Witness the fact that he wrote this compelling guide (fictional) life of its bizarre and fluctuating.
write about themselves, I find that it is always complicated, not at all obvious, pretty busy. It takes courage to get involved in everyone's eyes, considerable humor in taking even around when necessary, self-criticism to avoid writing un'autocelebrazione end in itself and sickly: all qualities that are not easy to find, mostly 'present in a single personality. As inevitably
novel, the diary of Burroughs catch us, binding ourselves in his past, in all honesty, frankness clear (even too much, since the family has spoken repeatedly sued for defamation) and plans to make a friendly involved, almost as confident, almost like fellow drunk, of what 'that made him Augusten Burroughs and not any other man.
The family problems are the focus of his life, from his very first appearance in the world: a father after continuous furious arguments with his wife, he gave it up that if a mother does with everyone, with mental disorders who also entails serious hysterics, until it is reliable, and by living at home, the psychologist, with all his wacky family that will help train (so to speak) the young Augusten. He seems to fit, living with degenerative instability of the population across the family of the psychologist, in the midst of the profound links that are born, furious arguments that follow, a homosexual relationship between high and low (most are decidedly 'low) and generally a life that inevitably turns into a forced cohabitation with the frustration of always having to do with an ever-present tension that is undermining the mental and relational equilibrium.
One has the feeling, reading, always unsafe to walk on a wire, constantly anxious insecure, struggling with the threat of an explosion of events, from time to time, which could lead to extreme consequences.
Life is difficult, but only those who have lived a complicated life can 'understand what it means to sail in bad waters. The characters in his book, all surrounded by loneliness carcinogen, illusory and self-annihilation, repressed desire for transgression and escape, paint a sad, anxious, bitter, stifling of his world.
Burroughs uses irony and the image sharp, abrupt, almost as perverse half defense by the bleak and dark thoughts that plague him in relation to a mother who seems to want to take away from him, avoiding it as if it were a serious infectious disease and the obsessive search of a feeling that might be released from his captivity and that stifles the inner led him to establish a homosexual relationship with someone much more 'than him, between certainty and sudden departure and inconvenience so' typical of a relationship strong. E 'existential despair and the apparent instability to seek with so' emphasis on a balance, opening up to everything, open to any possibility of happiness.
not seem to be able to meet margin a normal life, because he has never known. So what do you do? Looking ahead, even though fate seems very nebulous. But you have to do it, despite everything, despite all, from what 'you've learned from living them', from the few people they are sure they can trust.
